Simulations Canada's Battleship (2005)

About this game

Battleship - Tactical simulation between capital ships. The game covers the period 1925-1945. Battleship recreates naval battles from the latter stages of the era of the battleship. A unique combat system simulates shell strengths, immune zones, armor placement, gun ranges and the angle of incoming shot without resorting to complex calculations. Take command of a task force and re-fight exciting battles from the Second World War. This is the updated by Omega Games (i.e. Second Edition). It features all new artwork, revised and re-edited rules and several playing aids not found in the originals. Re-implements: Battleship: Tactical Capital Ship Combat 1925-1945

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
